Views

A View is a saved filter that selects a subset of the annotations (and their corresponding datums) in your dataset and defines how your data is split when training a model. Within a given View, a datum will never change its split assignment (train, test, or val) from Snapshot to Snapshot, even if you upload new datums or modify annotations.

Within the Views tab of the Datasets section, you can create and manage the Views you create for your datasets.

note

Your dataset must contain annotated data in order to create a View as only annotated datums are included when training models.

To begin creating a View, click + Create View. Then provide the following information:

  • Name: Provide a name for the dataset View.
  • Split Configuration: Configure the percentage breakdown of how data should be split between train, test, and validation segments within this view. By default, data is segmented to an 80/10/10 split configuration. If a dataset was uploaded with predefined splits, the split configuration will default to those settings.
  • Ignore default split assignments: Enable this option to override the default splits specified during the dataset upload, ensuring that the values defined in the split configuration are applied instead.

Next, provide specific filters to narrow down your dataset to the intended View.

  • Task Type: Select a task type; only include datums with annotations that support the chosen task type.
  • Labels: Select labels; only include datums with at least one of the specified labels. Leaving this field blank will select all labels by default.
  • Annotation Approval Status: Select an approval status; only include datums with at least one annotation that matches the provided approval status.
  • Captured: Choose a start and end time; only include datums that have a "captured" timestamp within the set range. Note, this filter applies specifically to the GPSDateTime metadata field.
  • Location boundary: Define a rectangular area to filter datums based on their GPSLatitude and GPSLongitude metadata fields.
  • Other Metadata: Provide any additional field and value pairings; only include datums whose metadata includes at least one of the provided field and value pairings.
  • Sample Limit: Restricts the total number of datums included in this View before applying any split configurations. For example, if 1,000 datums are limited to 500 and an 80/10/10 split is applied, the final distribution will be 400 for training, 50 for testing, and 50 for validation.

Click Submit to finish creating the View.

Once you have created a View, you can open it to see the details of that View's filters, the history of any dataset changes, and the subset of data within that View.

To create a Snapshot of the data within this View, click the Snapshot button in the top-right corner designated by the camera icon.
